Terms of Use

Last updated: July 6, 2026

Welcome to Tailwinds. By accessing or playing Tailwinds at tailwindsairlinegame.com (the "Game"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Game.

1. The service

Tailwinds is a free, browser-based airline management simulation game provided for entertainment. The Game runs entirely in your browser. We may add, change, rebalance, or remove features at any time without notice — it's a living game, and updates are part of it.

2. No accounts; local saves

The Game does not require an account. Game progress is stored locally in your browser's storage on your device. You are responsible for your own save data: clearing browser data will erase local saves, and we are not able to recover them. The Game provides an export feature for backing up saves, and we encourage you to use it.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or interfere with the Game or the servers that host it;
• Use automated tools to scrape, mirror, or mass-download the Game or its content, except as permitted by our robots.txt;
• Misrepresent the Game as your own work or redistribute it commercially without permission.

4. Intellectual property

The Game — including its code, design, simulation model, text, and branding — is the property of the Tailwinds project and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Aircraft names and manufacturer names are used for descriptive and informational purposes; aircraft photographs displayed in the Game are sourced from Wikimedia Commons under their respective licenses. Tailwinds is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any airline or aircraft manufacturer.

5. Advertising

The Game and this website may display third-party advertising, which helps keep Tailwinds free to play. Advertising is subject to the practices described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

The Game is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that saves will persist indefinitely. Tailwinds is a simulation for entertainment; nothing in it constitutes real-world aviation, business, or investment advice.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Tailwinds project and its contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or relating to your use of the Game, including loss of save data.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Game after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
